Between labor and play______(stand)work.
第1题:
Adam Smith, a writer in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England.
"One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform. two or three of them."
Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a piece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.
There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce, more of what they already have.
According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to______.
A.take advantage of the division of labor
B.explain the causes of the division of labor
C.understand the effects of the division of labor
D.introduce the division of labor into England

B. Women bargain (讨价还价) for their clothes, but men do not.
C. Women stand in a shop, but men sit down.
D. The time they take to buy clothes.
47.答案为D 此考题为推理题。选项A和C显然与事实相矛盾。文中未提及男人不在乎价格的高低而女人喜欢买便宜货,但文中并未暗示喜不喜欢讨价还价足男顾客与女顾客之间最明显的差别。从文章中可以看出两者最明显的区别应在于他们花在购买衣服上的时间长短,故应选D。
